AFTERNOON SESSION.
Promptly at 2 O'Clock the chairman
called for order, and while the remsiniug
delegates were coming in several com
munications from various towns and
cities, bringing good cheer aud God
speed, were read, including the following
eiO0usnt and charac .eristic letter from
Governor L. S. Ross:
Hon j. s. Daugherty, Dallas, Texas:
DEAR SIR-Pnis prompt and collected
eXertion Of those who rightfuily regard
the existing greatness Of our state but as
the promise Of the morning to the day il
ushers in, and who nave met to exhibit to
The world the substantial and conprehen-
sive advantages TO be formed
in Texas, had taken strong
hold upon the public mind, and
true hearts and cheering voices sympa-
TIE and encourage you in the generous
and patriotic fort TO lay the foundation
CT & still greater thrift among our people.
And while l am denied the privilege OF
Joining in your laudable enterprise, yet
with s deep sense of it's magnitude and
importance, l beg to assure you
that am reaOy and willing TO
heartily and sincerely unite IN every
lawful way to throw our state open to
the il fux CT holest.induslry and capital.
We can point with natural pride 20 her
credit and financial standing and to the
conservative character of her people
Patriotism is with them motive power,
and liberty anisctiye principle. The hum
0lest citizen il clothed by the majesty OF
her laws with the sublime attributes and
rights CT free speech and free ballot sn0
safe home, snd the poor and weak are
the peers in Law Of the rich and powerful,
and no where can they find lighter public
burdens, cheaper prime neceesaries Of
life, or where it Is easier for
those who live by honest toll to make
living. In my portion of the e:ste the in
dustrial classes in search OF homes may
find healthful climate with cheap and
abundant lands, where nature responds
generously to the l&bors of man, where
the wsges Of labor are good, food ebund
ant snd where any man may obtain
useful and honorable employment.
And in addition to this we may emphasize
the fact that our land system holds OUT
the inducements of cheap homes at s
nominal cost, with indisputsble titles, to
| sill who may choose TO select them from
the "a. 000,00 acres Ct common school
land; 600, 900 acres CT University land,
or the 9 ,000,000 acres Of public domain
subject to free entry in tracts Of l60
acres.
In this vast area OF COCO square
miles, and greater in extent than the
state OF New York, rich 10 minerals and
possessing fertility of soil exuberant in
the production of all the grasses, cereals
and staples, with pleasing landscapes
and sunny skies, and at present
thinly settled and imperfs city developed.
The enterprise OF the immigrant who de-
slres to better his fortunes may be re-
warded by the privilege of erecting his
home upon the favorite spot selected by
him and receive the free education of his
children from this vast patrimony,
beqnesthed present and coming genera
tions by the far-reschipg states manship of
those patriots, who laid broad and deep
the foundations of our state government.
IN the idea that no pee pc can be truly and
permanently great in the highest and best
sense OF the word, who do not provide
ample facilities for the home education
Of their youth, as the grander part OF the
states productive capital. Permit me to
express the hope that success may crown
your la6ors for the Increased develop
ment Of our agriculture, commerce, min
ing or whatever else tends to promote our
states welfare and greatness, and
that you may start her anew on the march
to yet greater prosperity and higher
civilization, with her destiny unfulfiled
and her glories undinmed. Very re-
SnpctfulIv etc l. g Rosa J
